Padova was the setting for another mass sprint finale, and Dainese desperately wanted to win Tudor Pro Cycling's first Grand Tour stage in his hometown. He launched his final effort to the line early, but the stage was 50 meters too long for the sprinter.
Alberto Dainese and Michael Storer continue to be Tudor Pro Cycling’s best-performing athletes in the Giro d’Italia. The Italian sprinter managed to secure another top 10 finish last weekend, while Storer performed similarly in the mountains.
After two legs in South America, the UCI Mountain Bike World Series is back in Europe. Nové Mesto, a favorite among riders, will host Team BMC next weekend.
